Arya was at Nonna’s yesterday and Daniele forgot to bring back her potty. She refused to do pucca without her potty – I tried everything, getting her to sit on the big toilet, cutting out a potty out of a cardboard box but it always ended with “ithe pucca nahi”…
What was funny was watching the joy on Arya’s face when Nonna walked in the door this morning with her precious potty… Who would have thunk it?!
Today as I was sneezing in the kitchen Arya so cutely said to me “Bless you, mamma” – it just caught me off guard and I gave her lots of pappi’s! She clearly saw that this pleases mum and said bless you so many more times to mamma & pappa just to milk it!
I also bathed her tonight – and it’s so cute when I say to her “Nangu pungu” she repeats after me saying “nangu nangu” but it’s sooo cute when she says it!

Oggi, mentre starnutivo in cucina, Arya mi ha detto “bless you, mamma”. Mi ha sorpreso cosi’ tanto e le ho dato tanti bacini! Si e’ cosi’ accorta di quanto mi faceva felice e ha continuato a dirlo un sacco di volte sia a mamma e papa’ per approfittare del momento!
Le ho anche fatto un bagnetto – ed era cosi’ carino che quando le dico “nangu pungu” lei ripete dicendo “nangu nangu”, ma e’ cosi’ piu’ carino quando lo dice lei!
Yesterday morning I brought up summer clothes that Arya hadn’t seen from the basement and Arya really liked some of them saying “have” (‘want’ in Marathi).. But I explained that she’s still too small and she can wear them once she’s bigger and she was OK with it… Then as I was trying them on Arya says to Papa, “Mamma e bella” which was the nicest complement! And then she gives me a black jacket to wear and says “ghal” and so I was wearing it and saying to Arya “OK so tell me how it looks” and she replies “Mamma wow”… Arg!! she already knows how to please!!!
Then we went shopping – she was so excited at the shoe store! Had to try on shoes just like I was! wore each one and then said ‘No’ and then Papa had to put it away and offer a different one to try.. then she had to take her socks off ’cause Mummy did… and the excitement on her face as she ran over to me showing her “shooesss”! Later when we went to the Anne Klein store, she was flipping through hangers and saying “no, no, no” to each. But there was a red top she particularly liked to which she exclaimed “wow” and was trying to grab it off the hanger saying “mamma ghal”. Many hugs & kisses later, I went off to the changing room and Arya followed. But she didn’t see which curtain I went behind. So she went to a random one & opened it and I heard this surprised “Well, hello” from a changing room!:-) so then I called Arya over and she peers her head under my curtain saying “cu cu”!
She was so excited with the shopping, she didn’t sleep all afternoon until 5pm and yet was in a good mood all along! We had such a wonderful day together.

Ieri mattina ho portato su dalla cantina alcuni vestiti estivi che Arya non aveva ancora visto e alcuni le sono piaciuti molto visto che diceva “ha-ve” (‘voglio’ in Marathi)… Le ho spiegato che e’ ancora troppo piccola e che le puo’ indossare quando e’ piu’ grande… e cio’ non le dava problemi… Poi mentre me li mettevo Arya ha detto a Papa’, “Mamma e’ bella”, che era un complimento bellissimo! E poi mi ha dato una giacca nera da indossare, dicendo “ghal” (metti), me la sono messa e le ho chiesto di dirmi come mi stava… (poi finisco di tradurre)
Today we were reading Arya’s caterpillar book and I was saying “And out of the egg came a …..” and Arya answered “Ayaaaaa”… er… wasn’t the answer I expected. After trying to explain that Arya came out of Mummy & the caterpillar came out of the egg, she looked little convinced…

Oggi stavamo leggendo il libro di Arya sul bruco e io stavo dicendo “E dall’uovo usci’ un ….” e Arya ha risposto “Ayaaaaa” … hmm… non proprio la risposta che mi aspettavo. Dopo averle spiegato che Arya e’ uscita da mamma & il bruco dall’uovo, non sembrava molto convinta
Today we raked the leaves in the garden. Daniele raked them together and Arya spread them around.. work for the whole family 🙂
Later we read the usual Sandra Boynton books (Papa’s favourites in fact)… and then Arya went to bed without her feeding bottle and milk like a big girl… and she wanted lots of hugs before going to bed.
…………..
Oggi abbiamo rastrellato le foglie secche in giardino. Daniele le raccoglieva e Arya le rispargeva… lavoro per tutta la famiglia 🙂
La sera abbiamo letto i soliti libri di Sandra Boynton ( i preferiti di papa’)… e Arya e’ andata a letto senza biberon col suo latte come una bimba grande… voleva tanti abbracci prima di andare a ninna.
